This template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech P The gender gap exists between male and female students' test scores, classroom performance, and future careers. Research has found that students' perception of their gender will affect their thoughts and behaviors. However, it is still not clear how teachers’ implicit attitude affects students’ development of gender ideology. By reviewing existing research and literature, specifically from primary schools, this paper examines the relationship between primary school teachers’ implicit attitudes and their influence on students. The paper proves that primary teachers’ understanding of gender roles and their self-concept affect their implicit attitude about gender, which is reflected in their teaching methods, classroom management, and their perceptions of students. Teachers who hold implicit gender bias will have a negative influence on students. Students who are taught by teachers with biased implicit attitudes will have poor academic achievement, low self-esteem, and more misconduct. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers to increase their gender awareness and improve gender equity in the classroom.
